Re: A Message to Soldiers: Hold on Please

Good article about the "operators" who help the soldiers get calls > through.

Thank you for that post. In WWII, the civilians and military family members in the vicinity of Ft. Hamilton filled a similar role. Different, but similar in the compassion they had for the soldiers getting onto troop ships bound for Europe, and for the ones returning.

I'll never forget one of my soldiers telling me of the warmth and goodness of an elderly woman who wished him well. She had lost her husband in WWI, but she still had the will, courage and sheer gumption to hug him and tell him to "Be good, and to come home."
